Ortlieb Rear Roller Classic Hi-Viz QL2.1 Panniers

A worthy Eurobike 2013 Gold Award Winner, this version of the Ortlieb Rear Roller Classic boasts a high-visibility yellow main panel with four retro-reflective stripes. Covering almost half the outer panel of each bag, these four reflective stripes are no afterthought. They're a key part of the design.

Even without this inspired attention-grabbing reflective detail, Ortlieb Rear Roller Classic Panniers are regularly rated, the best money can buy.

One of the reasons this remains the case more than a quarter century since their introduction is because, while the design of their Roller Panniers remains fundamentally the same, Ortlieb never miss an opportunity to introduce improvements, such as upgrading them with the QL2.1 version of their famous Quick Lock rack attachment system.

QL2.1 Robust QL (Quick Lock) rack hooks are a stand-out Ortlieb pannier feature. They offer total security – these panniers will never jump off the rack - yet their easy-on easy-off action is so intuitive and effort free, one of our customers was moved to described it as “so simple, it’s like witchcraft”.

The benefit of the QL2.1 version is that it can be set up (no tools required) to adapt to an even wider variety of rear rack configurations and dimensions than the original QL1 system. Coming with inserts, the pannier hooks can fit racks with 8, 10, 12 or 16mm top rails, as described in Ortlieb's own video.

This video perfectly illustrates how Ortieb's QL hooks tenaciously secure each bag to the rear rack, yet offer instant release - simply by lifting the bag upwards by its handle.
